Problems/Comments

Release of approximately 500 gallons of heating fuel from a 1,500-gallon tank. Heating fuel impacted surface water in Benny Benson Lagoon. ADEC’s Prevention and Emergency Response Program (PERP) directed and performed the response actions at the time, which stopped the flow of free product to the water surface with an oil water separator and used sorbents to remove sheening. ADEC's Contaminated Sites Program had no involvement. Searched for file on 5-17-2006 and unable to locate file in Soldotna Office.
